English term or phrase: N.A.

Konnte bisher nicht rausfinden, wofür das steht. Hier der Kontext: Such solid materials for the transparent dielectric need no separate means to support or maintain it, but can result in lower N.A. acceptance since the index is higher than for an air gap. ......... the reflector element is shaped to output light with an angular distribution which is closer to the N.A. of the device (=Beleuchtungseinrichtung).
